Chapter 677: Never Come Again
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong stood in front of Zhou Dafu’s carriage with a smile. “Old Master Zhou, you’re here too?”
Zhou Dafu laughed dryly. “That’s right. We know each other. Miss Gu’s opening ceremony is important, so I should come over to congratulate you.”
“Old Master Zhou, you’re too polite. Why don’t you go in?”
“I saw there were too many people. Boss Gu was probably too busy, so I wanted to wait a little longer. It doesn’t matter if it’s later.”
Gu Yundong looked touched. “Old Master Zhou is really understanding. I didn’t expect you to be so considerate of me even though we barely knew each other. Coincidentally, I’m free now. Old Master Zhou, let’s go over together. But let’s make it clear first. If you come, come. There’s no need to give the gift boxes. You don’t know, but so many people came today. Everyone gave me two big gift boxes. The storeroom in the backyard is filled.”
Zhou Dafu was speechless. Did he have gift boxes? He was here to cause trouble. Who would buy gift boxes?
However, since he had come to congratulate others on their opening, it was indeed unreasonable not to offer any gift.
He could only say as he walked, “I really don’t know what Boss Gu likes, so I didn’t buy anything. We’re all straightforward people, so I thought it would be more practical and convenient to give you money.”
“Money? This…” Gu Yundong sighed. “Old Master Zhou, you’re too considerate. In that case, it’s difficult to refuse your kindness. I’ll reluctantly accept it. But let’s agree that you won’t give me too much. I saw that the gift box given by the Nie family was filled with hundred-year-old ginseng, jade ruyi, and so on. I was panicking when I accepted it. Please don’t give me so much money. Just a little something is fine.”
Old Master Zhou was speechless. Are you sure you’re not being sarcastic? You told me what the Nie family gave you and asked me not to give you too much.
Damn it, how could he give less?
Zhou Dafu was furious and his expression was especially ugly. However, he still had to squeeze the fat on his face to maintain a smile when he saw that they were already at the door of Gu’s.
Especially when facing Xue Rong, who was waiting to register his gift, he almost vomited blood.
After a while, Zhou Dafu trembled as he took out a banknote of a thousand taels of silver and handed it to Xue Rong. He smiled at Gu Yundong. “It’s just a small token of appreciation. Don’t refuse it, Boss Gu.”
Gu Yundong sighed. “Old Master Zhou is still so generous. How kind of you.” As she spoke, she turned to Xue Rong and said, “You have to register carefully. Don’t miss anyone. Wrap two packets of dried fruits for Old Master Zhou later.”
Then, she said to Zhou Dafu, “Old Master Zhou, take a look around. My shop has just opened. I don’t know what I might have done wrong. You have to give me some suggestions.”
Zhou Dafu had just handed over 1,000 taels of silver, and his heart was bleeding. How could he have the mood to look at the shop and raise any suggestions?
He wanted to talk with the young master of the prefecture magistrate’s family and the steward of the Nie residence, but Gu Yundong had no intention of bringing him to the backyard.
Zhou Dafu was afraid that he would lose money if he stayed any longer, so he walked around randomly. After knowing that it was hopeless to get to know the Dai family and the Nie family, he simply bade farewell and left the Gu family’s shop.
Gu Yundong stood at the door with a smile. “Take care, Old Master Zhou. Please come again.”
Again? He would never come again, not even if he died.
Zhou Dafu hurriedly returned to his carriage. Steward Zhou had also sent away the local hooligans and returned.
The moment Zhou Dafu saw him, he was furious. He clenched his fists and punched him hard in the face.
